Stuttgart, Germany

ORIENTATION: the Bahnhof drops you off very close to the main train station. From there you have 2 options - walking (most hotels and sights are a short walk) or catch the U/S Bahn for your best connections. If you are spending a lot of time in Stuttgart look into a Stuttcard for cheaper transportation.

LODGING:

  • Hotel am Schlossgarten - this is about a 3 minute walk from the train station and an ideal location. You'll find a tourist information shop on the same block. Good hotel with a helpful staff
ATTRACTIONS:
  • Check out the old and new palace - Altes & Neues Schloss
  • Konigstrasse - stroll down this for shopping and peoplewatching
  • Karlsplatz - flea markets on Saturdays otherwise there are good sidewalk cafes
  • Mercedes Benz Museum
  • Porsche Museum
FOOD:
  • Grand Cafe - Karlsplatz - serve a good breakfast overlooking the square and Rathaus
